It's way more fun than anything that's happened in wrestling since, but the wrestling itself is mid and sometimes not worth watching at all.

Agreed, it's way too over the top and cartoonish. I went back and watched some episodes and there was a run-in in every match. Ruthless Aggression chads stay winning

Damn if the attitude era was mid and 5 million plus people were tuning in every week that must mean wrestling in 2023 is beyond shit because nobody except a few boomers and smelly brown people tune in.

WWE has been unwatchable for at least 10 years. Old WCW and WWF shows are a million times better.

The same can be said for any era. Outside of generational stars (Steamboat, Hart, Angle, Bryan) most wrestling cards are pure fodder used to sell marquee events.

it was awesome at the time, but it's nothing worth preserving, at the time I was wishing the hulkamania era still with characters and vignettes, AE is when they shot everything in ring, in arena, so it looked like a cheaper product than wcw

Exactly as it should be. Kino promos, angles, violence and once in a while an actually good match after it has been built up and there's a fucking story.

Attitude Era started with "Pillman's Got A Gun" and I am tired of pretending otherwise.

It was tastleless, car crash TV with bad wrestling, cringe promos coupled with racism and misogyny.

Going back to watch it is quite illuminating actually
>60% of it is garbage edge matches/angles
>20% of it is MacMahon shit
>10% admittedly good upper card shit involving Austin, Rock, Foley, etc
>10% cringe Taker shit

You could've saved some time and just said it was based.

Most of Vince's segments involved Austin or other top guys so I don't know why you'd separate them, Vince was also a hell of a petormer back then and most of his segments were great. All the midcard shit didn't age well but it worked at the time and it kept the crowd engaged but didn't burn them out.

No it isn't. It's just as it's supposed to be. Lots of angles and promos, matches had psychology and were not flipfests but brawling, were quickly in and out (outside of the main event which was given more time usually) then you'd get the payoff long matches at PPVs. Now you have 20 minute midcard match with no stakes or reason to care just to fill time.
